Are you feeling the heat, Boston? While it might make for a sweaty commute, at least it doesn’t require scaling six foot high snow piles while trying to catch the bus (thank you, February). Instead of reminiscing about cooler times, sip on some lemonade and take a moment to check out our finely tuned weekend agenda for Boston.

First things first, this is your reminder that Mother’s Day is on Sunday. Whether your mom politely refuses to acknowledge your homo-ness or (alternatively) enjoys discussing episodes of The Real L Word in far too much detail, chances are she deserves a shout out this weekend. I’m not your mom, but if I were I’d at least like a phone call or chocolate or whatever quirky gender-queer gift you could come up with, you crafty homo. And while I’m at it, I’m also going to remind you to put some of these events in your handy desk planner and stop teasing your brother…

Think you have nothing to look forward to this weekend besides more demoralizing 40-something degree weather that makes summer in Boston seem a mythical creature not unlike unicorns or a sober Charlie Sheen? Well, I’m happy to report that you’re wrong. While you may be chilly, you can keep busy with some naughty bike porn, a second week of guerrilla gays, and a flashmob pillow fight. And this is just the tip of the April iceberg. All in a weekend’s work, Boston.

That’s hardly a play on words about the team name of a bunch of guys who will spend three hours jumping on top of a bunch of other guys in an effort to win a shiny, phallic trophy this Sunday. Okay, perhaps a bit, but what I’m really saying is that there’s more to this weekend than football. Here’s what’s up…

Happy 2011, TNG Boston buddies! How has your year been so far? Are you feeling happy and healthy? Have you laughed at cute animals, cried from adorable sweetness, and generally felt the joy that is being alive in 2011 this week?! No? Well get to it! Our fair city has loads of ways to distract you from the chilly weather over the next few days.

How goes it, Boston? Hopefully by now the pangs of your Halloween hangovers have ceased. If I know you well enough, you’re still be finding glitter in some unexpected places, but are ready for another weekend – amirite? Lucky for you, daylight savings time kicks in on Sunday so you’ll get a bonus hour to sleep in guilt-free. Get excited, because there are definitely some good reasons to stay up late this weekend!
